Gaining awareness: Cultivating clinical reflection in nursing students.

Earlier this year, in an article published in Nurse Education in Practice, a nurse educator in our school of nursing described an activity designed to refresh and inspire undergraduate nursing students who feel fatigued at the end of the day, and/or anxious, pressured, or overwhelmed during their clinical practice experiences (Andersen, 2016). We are some of those students who participated in this activity during some of our therapeutic debriefing and reflective discussions and we would like to respond by describing our experiences.

Implementing team based learning in large classes: nurse educators' experiences.

Team-based learning (TBL) is an interactive teaching method promoted as an alternative to traditional lectures. TBL was implemented in four large second year classes in a baccalaureate nursing program but the implementation process was found to require much more effort than indicated in the literature. A predominant theme during the implementation phase was the importance of collegial support.
